Female. Dull pale cinereous-yellow, with a greenish tinge. Head and palpi ferrnginous-red; vertex white; front with two yel- low points; second and third joints with yellow tips. Abdomen with a row of black points. Wings minutely black-speckled, with a middle nebulous incomplete brown band and with an exterior line of black points; marginal points ferruginous-red, much more attenuated in the fore wings than in the hind wings. Fore wings subfalcate, with a line of black points near the base, and with a black discal dot. Hind wings dentate, with two white connected red-bordered discal spots; a red apical spot, towards which the points are larger and more distinctly white-bordered. Length of the body 8—10 lines; of the wings 20—24 lines. This species seems to connect the genera Ametris and Mecoce- ras, and may be distinguished from M. Nitocris by the markings and by the dentate hind wings. a, Jamaica. From Mr. Gosse’s collection. b. P Presented by the Entomological Club. Genus 2. ALMODES. ‘ Corpus sat robustum. Proboscis longa.

Length of the body 7 lines ; of the wings 14 lines. This species differs from O. alectaria in the submarginal line of the hind wings, from O. pamphilaria and O.

Argyris Delphiaria, Guen. Phal. ii. 14, 911. Hindostan. O. Deliaria and O. Delphiaria have evidently a greater affinity to each other than either of them have to the other species of the genus, and this is in accordance with the proximity of their respec- tive habitations. The two individuals here recorded differ slightly from each other and from Gueneé’s description of O. Delphiaria. The Punjaub specimen has the discal mark of the fore wings wider, paler and less defined than that of the other specimen, and the two LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 809 parts of this mark are connected by the silver line in the former, while they are quite separate in the latter. Both the specimens are males. ia. Punjaub. Presented by Sir John Hearsay. 6. North Hindostan. From Mr. Stevens’ collection. 6. ARGYRIS INDICATARIA. | Mas.

Res Female. White, with a very slight yellowish tinge. Head black, except the vertex. Antenne stout, flattened. Hind tibie dilated. Wings with three pale cinereous straight oblique parallel lines ; the inner line indeterminate; the cinereous streaks almost obsolete, except about the costa of the fore wings and about the exterior border. Fore wings very acute; costa hardly convex, with distinct black points. Hind wings subcaudate, with a black mar- ginal line, which is twice dilated into a dot on each side of the angle, the latter marked by a black line, behind which there is a black spot. Length of the body 5 lines; of the wings 17 lines. This may be termed a race of M. aculeata, but differs more from it than the latter species differs from M. gannata ; the yellowish tinge of the wings is apparent also on the under side. a. Java.

White. Head black, except the vertex. Wings with three cinereous oblique straight parallel bands, of which the inner one is less distinct than the others; the little transverse streaks rather few, especially between the second and third bands; those near the border darker and more distinct than the others. Fore wings acute; costa convex, with black points. Hind wings with the exteriur border acutely angular but hardly caudate in the middle, with a litle black line on the angle and with black points. Length of the body 5 lines; of the wings 18 lines. This species or local variety has a very close resemblance to M. aculeata, but may be distinguished by the angle of the hind wings, which is less produced, and by the black mark on the angle, this mark being a little slender line with a brown space around it; the costal marks of the fore wings are also somewhat different. a.
